Echo fattys
#1
let me first say that instead of having my buddy take me, i drove myself and i don't care if he don't invite me again for telling you...

Echo resort; parked on shoulder just north of the resort entrance, fished straight out from there, 20 -25 ft depth for bows and perch. between myself and 7 others, bows were caught mostly with yellow-green and glow jigs tipped with crawlers or wax worms, most suspended anywhere around 10 ft. with a couple near the bottom and top. many of them in the 17" size give or take. (not mine though) must have been about 15 bows caught between all of us.

perch were caught on different types of smaller ice jigs, off the bottom, tiped with crawlers, wax/meal worms. I landed two monsters that both measured 11.5" and 3 others smaller. mine were all caught using an ice jig shaped like a minnow (about 1.25") with a fine short chain link attached with hook at end, intended for perch cause they like to suck in the worm and have small mouths. got it at fish tech last yr. tipped with crawlers.

my 2nd big perch was caught before leaving and i did not get a pic in with the others so there is two pics to show them both. one shows part of the lure used. we were hoping for more perch, i didn't count others but i ended up catching 6, others caught less...still a good day fishing and i got to rip some lips too!

most of our holes were in 20 ft. i caught one of my fattys in 25 ft. also. we didn't move around much cause we were catching regularly, but would have liked to hook more perch.

Thanks for the report. I'm still waiting to hear or see how many big catfish are caught through the ice this year. It might be worth targeting them I know there are 15lb+ cats in that lake.

sound like fun to me...i've never went after cats before, wouldn't know where to start, or what to use? what few small ones i have caught was going after other fish...
